The reason might be that the devs are Germans, and Germany loving loves coal power.

(Ok, that's a lie, Germany uses a lot of coal power, in particular the dirtiest coal possible, lignite, and for some reason the decision makers of the German state tend to favor coal in indirect, stealthy and one might say underhanded ways. There might be money involved.) (I say as I laugh frenchily, before remembering that our Greens have worked really hard to kill nuclear power here, in particular the projects to recycle spent nuclear fuel into more power and far less toxic and radioactive spent fuel, again, money might be involved.)

The fact that Germany shut down its nuke plants after Fukushima is proof that whatever else is going on, there's a lot of blind hatred for nuke plants floating around. Did they think there was going to be a tsunami in the middle of Germany? Whether we should build new nuke plants can be a big complicated discussion, but once they're built there's absolutely no reason not to run them to the end of their safe lifetime.

As someone who works in sustainability the anti-nuke stance of some supposed environmentalists drives me completely nuts.
